Seems like you just like this special for ticking that box and not actually being funny. Or you know, the role of comedians.

I don't think that that bit is very funny either tbh, even though if I massively agree with the sentiment behind it.

Dude, they're clearly jokes so I don't give a ****. They're just not that funny and I find the intent behind them to be pretty childish. Frankly if anyone here is zeroed in on the politics of the special, it's you. I'm just discussing it because you've introduced it to the conversation.
